PAYMENTS

The full fee or remainder of your full fee must be paid at the time of your appointment or prior to your appointment.

Bank transfer on the day is not accepted.

Please ensure you have the correct amount of cash or have arranged to pay in advance or your appointment will not go ahead.

EVENTS AND BRIDAL BOOKINGS

Your booking is not secure until we have responded to your request and have confirmed your appointment.

Your booking is not secure until you as a client have read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions and acknowledge that an appointment retainer fee may be payable to secure your booking.

To secure your booking on a particular date you may be required to pay a non-refundable appointment retainer fee.

This fee goes towards your final fee on the day and is a retainer to ensure that your date is kept free for you.

Your booking is not confirmed until this fee has been paid if requested.

Occasionally the makeup artist will not request the retainer fee until someone else requests that date, but you will be informed. Your date will be held without the fee if approved by the makeup artist.

You will receive an invoice for the retainer fee amount and can pay by bank transfer. The remaining fee must be paid up in full prior to or on the day in cash. Bank transfer on the day is not acceptable.

You can pay the full fee up front if you wish or pay the final amount owing in cash at the appointment. You will receive an email containing a link to the terms and conditions and payment options.

A bridal preview does not guarantee your wedding date is held. The artist will hold the date until the trial and then the appointment retainer fee must be paid to retain your wedding date.

BEHAVIOUR

The makeup artist may cancel an appointment at any time if they feel unsafe or if a client is behaving inappropriately. Your retainer fee will not be refunded.

BRIDAL PREVIEWS

A bridal preview is your chance to see if you work well together.

A bridal preview may result in you having two different eye makeup looks so is not advisable to do before an event or photoshoot.

The makeup artist may refuse any wedding booking based on your behaviour at the preview and whether or not they are able to satisfy your requirements.

In the rare even that the artist feels you are not a good fit, alternative artists will be suggested.

SATISFACTION

The artist will consult with the client during the process to achieve a satisfactory look.

Please be aware that if you bring in a photograph of a look you are hoping to achieve, the artist may not be able to replicate it. Using the exact same products, the look will appear different as everyone has different eye shapes, skin types, skin tones, face shapes etc. If you wish to bring in a photo, please keep this in mind. This applies especially to photos of other artists work.

At the conclusion of your makeup appointment, we strongly urge you to let us know if you have any requested changes or concerns, so we can ensure you are happy and feeling as good as possible. The artist will seek your feedback and make changes accordingly.

RE-SCHEDULING

If you need to re-schedule please keep in mind that the artist has said no to other paid work in order to retain your booking.

Re-scheduling is treated as a cancellation. The retainer fee will not be refunded with less than 30 days notice.

Re-scheduling will be dependent on the date and time, and whether the artist has an appointment available for you.

LATENESS

If you are running late please let the makeup artist know as soon as possible by phoning or texting 0466 577 051.

The artist will arrive 10 minutes early to set up the work station.

While we are understanding, often the makeup artist is booked back to back and lateness means they will arrive late to their next appointments which include pack up, driving time and set up.

If you are late and the makeup artist is required to stay after the allocated time for the appointment you will be invoiced $40 per half hour.

There is also the chance that the makeup artist will not be able to perform your makeup service if you are running late and the makeup artist has more appointments after you.

Your retainer will not be refunded and the full fee will be invoiced.

Your appointment cannot be extended due to lateness.

MAKEUP ARTIST CANCELLATIONS

In this case the makeup artist will let you know as soon as possible. The makeup artist will attempt to find a replacement for your appointment but cannot guarantee this. Your retainer fee will be refunded.

ILLNESS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

In the event that illness prohibits your makeup service to be performed at the time of the appointment, the retainer fee will not be refunded.
